I seem to be struggling with links in ePub documents.

I'm creating a toc file and including an link to the chapter in question.
The link looks like

<a href="Chapter10.html">Chapter 10</a>

Chapter10.html exists and the link appears as you would expect, but when I click / tap on it the first document in the spine opens (in the calibre viewer it opens the correct document but in an external browser).

Also, I'm a little uncertain what extension I should provide. until recently I was using .xhtml, but a correspondant told me that not all readers understand that. What's a safe extension to use for the content files?

Thanks!

Iain
